The U.S. Department of Defense has announced additional security and defense assistance to Ukraine.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
The package includes additional air defenses, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine defend its sovereign territory and fight for freedom from Russia’s ongoing aggression.
The $100 million aid package includes:
• Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
• one High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and additional ammunition;
• 155-mm and 105-mm artillery shells;
• optically guided TOW missiles (Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided);
• Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems;
• more than 3 million rounds of ammunition for small arms;
• ammunition for destroying obstacles;
• cold weather equipment; and
• spare parts, maintenance and other ancillary equipment.
“Assistance in ensuring Ukraine’s security is a smart investment in our national security. This helps prevent more conflict in the region and deter potential aggression elsewhere, while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating highly skilled jobs for the American people in dozens of states across the country.
It is imperative that Congress take action to support Ukraine by approving the president’s request for additional funding,” the Pentagon said.
